The Gang Green went defense in round 3, as they selected DT Nathan Shepherd from Fort Hays St. Shepherd, who is Canadian, played linebacker in high school and then defensive lineman in college. He registered 38 stops in 2017, 12.5 of those went for losses. He also had 4.0 sacks.

The New York Jets selected QB Sam Darnold from USC in the first round of 2018 NFL Draft. Rather unexpectedly, Darnold, who was considered as the top QB in the Draft by most experts, fell to the Gang Green after the Browns picked QB Baker Mayfield at #1 overall.

The New York Jets will begin their 2018 campaign on September 10th in Detroit on Monday Night Football. This will be the first of their two scheduled primetime appearances in the entire season. The other one will be on Thursday, September 20th, in Week 3, against the Cleveland Browns.

C Nick Mangold, a 7-time Pro Bowler and 2-time First Team All-Pro, has announced that he's officially retires from the NFL. Mangold, 34, was the cornerstone of the Jets' offensive line for 11 years after being drafted at #29 overall in 2006.
